When I read this stuff it always reminds me of how hard the Russians, Chinese and other Countries must be laughing at us.

Only a liberal could believe that (1) Big Government should act to keep people from eating too many burgers or drinking too large a soda, for their own health, but (2) Big Government should support euthanasia.

Want to bet that there's a direct correlation between IQ and obesity?
(Is that profiling?)

It’s very possible that it’s a part of the equation. Heredity is one of the most important issues, imho, as is age.

And occupation. People with sedentary desk jobs have a tendency to be less fit than manual laborers.

These policies will never work out because they are imposed by people who are institutionally incapable of understanding the cause of the problem. It is the nationally accepted consensus as shown in the food pyramid of a diet of high carbs, low protein, and little fat. That model is exactly backwards. The great plains should swarming with cattle, not wheat fields. It’s carbs you morons!

True..... PEOPLE that want somebody ELSE to do something.. i.e. gov’t..

Doing something Themselves messes with their lifestyle.. i.e. drugs, some other CRIME..
Their gitalong is pointing AWAY from themselves..

For the left, intentions and hoped-for results are the beginning and end of a discussion. Actual results and unintended consequences are mere footnotes, if mentioned at all.

Pretty well sums up what is wrong with the sheep following liberal leaders. They believe the elites, feel good about themselves, and then blame the inevitable failures on everyone else.

I would bet there is. No, not every fat person is stupid, but I’d bet there is some correlation. I’ll bet the correlation is even higher with low IQ and smoking.

When I see studies that whine about the correlation between poverty and poor health, I can’t help but think they are completely missing the root cause which is not the poverty but the low IQ. Low IQ contributes to poor health in so many ways: smoking, poor eating choices, early/unwed child-bearing, poor parenting, violence, .....

It’s the elephant in the room that everyone is afraid to mention.

Seems to me the City Council was manipulated by loopholes and Malls. Someone made big bucks out of this zoning, just like in Red China
